Young, 29, typically wears Nike’s PG1 sneakers when he is on the court. But he doesn’t plan to wear George’s signature shoe against his former teammate (via Vigilant Sports):

“He asked me that last game. He was like, ‘why aren’t you wearing the PGs?’ I said: ‘Come on man, you know what’s up.’ I’m probably going to wear some Kobe’s tomorrow. Then go back to my PG1’s after that. Very, very comfortable shoe. Nike did a really good job.”

It’s not surprising that Young would avoid direct supporting George while he plays him.
